Aldi Is Releasing 3 Booze-Flavored Salsas in August, Just in Time for Football-Watching Season

Break out the finger foods, because it's almost football season! 

Aldi isn't taking the snack-centric season lightly, either, because the cult-favorite grocery store just debuted three booze-flavored salsas to go along with your tortilla chips and guac (and, ya know, actual booze).

The new salsas come in 16-oz. cans of three different alcohol-themed varieties: Blood Orange & Whiskey, Pineapple & Rum and Apple & Bourbon. Honestly, a whiskey-flavored salsa is not something we ever knew we needed, but now we're totally intrigued.

The salsas don't contain any actual alcohol, though, so you can eat as much as you want without worrying about getting a bit tipsy (thank god). They hit shelves on August 21 and only cost $2.29. 

Perhaps Aldi heard the cries of joy about the new Bloody Mary Salsa from loyal Trader Joe's fans, or they realized that pineapple in salsa (and on pizza, don't "at" us) is a genius combination that also needs a bit of rum flavoring to feel complete. Whatever the case, we're glad we've reached this boozy salsa milestone.

And if you needed any more evidence that Aldi is the inexpensive alcohol destination, the German grocery store chain just released bottled pomegranate mimosas for $9 each. Although, we don't recommend pairing this with the salsa, since that many different alcoholic flavors seems wrong.

But, like, go team! (Or, whatever excuse you need to sit in front of the TV all autumn long eating bourbon-flavored dip.)
